What is World Expo?<\/strong>
<\/br>\"\"W<\/strong>orld Expos are a key meeting point for the global community to share innovations and make progress on issues of international importance such as the global economy, sustainable development and improved quality of life for the world\u2019s population.
<\/br>Every five years, World Expos attract millions of visitors who explore and discover pavilions, exhibitions and cultural events staged by hundreds of participants including nations, international organizations and businesses.
<\/br>Each World Expo is a catalyst for economic, cultural and social transformation and generates important legacies for the host city and nation.
<\/br>As an inclusive and cosmopolitan nation, hosting the World Expo 2020 would be a natural step in the UAE\u2019s development and vision; aiming to connect people and new ideas with enduring benefits for future generations at home and around the world under the theme \u2018Connecting Minds, Creating the Future.\u2019
<\/br>In November 2011, Dubai and the UAE became a candidate city of the bid process to host World Expo 2020.
<\/br>Being a global trade and logistics hub, a gateway to emerging markets, and having first class infrastructure are among the major factors that qualify Dubai to win the bid, and DP World, through Jebel Ali\u2019s unmatched efficiencies in the region, is a major contributor to Dubai\u2019s and the UAE\u2019s successes.
